The federal government #ThreatenedSpecies #BakeOff, a social media competition:
Save my dogs, cats and all the cuddly stuff...

"Koalas, for example, are frequently allocated large sums of money for #conservation. Compare this to many lesser known, more impactful and at-risk species including the grey nurse #shark and foundation species such as seaweeds. Unless we build the profile of our lesser-loved #plants, #invertebrates, #frogs and fish, we’ll certainly see more species vanish."

Great teaching experience & exchanges with @sciencespo@twitter.com students this week, during our new intensive course on global ecological issues & solutions. The transformation of educational processes is a necessary condition for systemic change. #EcologicalLiteracy

The five-yearly state of the environment report, released in July, found the health of Australia’s environment was poor and had deteriorated, with at least 19 #ecosystems now showing signs of #collapse or near collapse. Despite this, a survey of 4,000 people across Australia conducted by the new council found 60% of respondents believed nature was in a good or very good state.
